I see Elmo has his traditional CNTL jammies all packed and set to go!

Here he is debuting them at CNTL 1 (aka - Eastern Wisconsin Campout)

There it is updated again.

Awesome teardrop gdpipkorn! That is really cool looking! I can't wait to see it. Beer and wine tasting sounds awesome! Do we need to make it ourself to bring it in for others to taste, or can we just really like a bottle and bring it in?

Back on page 7, Nancy and Jack had made a suggestion that some people like to do crafts, and that maybe some people would like to donate their crafts. Those crafts would be used as "prizes" for odd things, like the person that has traveled the farthest to get to the gathering, or the teardrop with the most people sleeping in it.
Is there any interest in this? Nancy/Jack had said they would make dish cloths, and I am willing to weeve a scarf as a prize. Would this be something people want to do or no? Does anyone else want to donate a craft as a prize to be given away?

Sorry but I'm not a crafty type person. I would be willing to buy a camping related prize to donate. If they had a prize for the most dogs sleeping in a teardrop, you'd be the winner!

I have three dogs this year too. Although all three of mine don't even equal a beagle. Dianne better borrow another dog if she wants to win that one. :vroom:

If we go by number of dogs then it doesn't matter the size, besides one of your dogs has a big dog attitude! If we go by weight of dogs then my dog will beat all of your dogs and Diane's combined!

Hey! How do you get the picture into the message? Thanks for doing it for me. I am not too practiced in those games. And thanks for the compliments. This is our first gathering and are pretty exited.

gdpipkorn,

At the top of each page are some icons you can click on. One is called "Help with photos". Try that one. I rarely post photos as it takes some thinking. As a retired person I have stopped doing that.

If I can sucker one of my friends into coming with me (which I can't) but if I could...he has two miniture schnausers. That would be five dogs, two people, in 4X6.10!

Lol...but he dosen't consider it camping unless he has heat, air conditioning, tv, a bed and his own bathroom.
I told him teardrops have heat, air conditioning, tv and a bed. Mine dosen't...but some come that way!!
